I Think I Was Attacked In My Car When I Was A Teenager

Thatís an objective question, but I feel absolutely certain it wasnít anything like no or tinnitus. The next day when my father again helped me look at the car, we could replicate the sound when I had him knock on the roof over the passenger side while I sat in the driverís side.

I keep thinking of this...letís say whatever it was did want me to exit the vehicle, for what purpose?
Itís funny that Iíve not shared this often and not spent a lot of time thinking about it for the past 30 years, but since Iíve shared it here Iím intrigued. Not frightened or anything, just appreciating the fact that people have ideas as to what might have happened.

It sounds and felt exactly like that! But no, thereís no way that couldíve happened. I was probably doing 40-50mph when it started, and at that point there werenít any trees or anything on either side of the road for something to have dropped onto the car.
I am somewhat surprised that I didnít find similar stories on the net, but then thatís what led me here looking for answers.

I had what sounded and felt like I had driven over a piece of timber once. It was dark and I was on my way home... So dark and stopping wasn't on my agenda. The next day I went and looked where I thought the incident happened and could see nothing but the funny thing was my partner's car did break down in the same area after this happened. Maybe it is a warning to take care on that stretch of road?

In fact, I'd say that if the banging had anything to do with assistance of some kind, there's the possibility assistance was wanted - i.e. there's a chance it was a distressed "open up" banging on the roof.

In my experience, IF someone/something wanted you to exit the vehicle on the road, it would most likely be to further play or 'mess' with you. Meaning, there'd either be 'the reveal' OR (and this is my bet) you wouldn't see anything, get back in, and the knocking would start up again.

A direct assault on your person is very unlikely, but admittedly that depends on whoever/whatever's knocking. Someone or something that can simply shut off your car or 'missing time' you isn't going to bang on your roof to stop your vehicle. Also, anyone or anything who can simply dart out or suddenly appear in front of you without any risk to themselves can just do that to make a driver swerve or aggressively break and potentially crash. Way more effective than banging on your roof.

ah.... Kind of like Lassie barking trying to get help for someone... Honestly, this was the picture that popped in my mind when I read your post. You made a good point though.
